Battery Breakthrough Could Revolutionize Mobile Computing
The project, an attempt to use lithium-sulfur in place of the lithium-ion technology that is used in batteries today, has been in development since 2007. We already have Wi-Fi hotspots, 3G and 4G networks for Internet everywhere and a host of mobile gadgets from netbooks to iPads and mobile phones to notebook computers. There are a million other use cases that could benefit from this technology change, too, including sensor networks, computing Researchers at Stanford University have just made a major breakthrough that may impact the technology industry for years to come: they've built a better battery.

Eko: Mobile Banking for India’s “Dial-Up” Internet
And there are a host of interesting companies seeking to leverage that network as some kind of rudimentary, literally “dial-up,” Internet that extends far beyond the country’s 50 million or so Web users.
Since the service launched in late 2007, Eko was outsourcing the management of the grocers to a third party who sells multiple things through the channel already. I mentioned in my last post that mobile is bridging the digital—not to mention analog— divide in India, with almost half as many new mobile accounts being opened just last January as there are Internet users in the entire country.

'Enemies of the Internet': Not Just For Dictators Anymore
As a result, social networks have been particularly targeted by omnipresent surveillance. The progress made by Vietnam in the domain of human rights, which allowed the country to become a member of the World Trade Organization in 2007, is nothing but a distant memory. Reporters Without Borders released its annual report [ PDF ] on online access today. They call it Enemies of the Internet, and it shows a world where online censorship, intimidation and worse is increasing.

The Personal Network Effect
The presumption in the design of most networks is that the value of the network increases with the number of nodes in the network. This is known as the Network Effect, a term that was coined by Robert Metcalfe , the founder of Ethernet. Image source It is therefore tempting to suggest that a similar sort of thing holds for members of the network, that the value of the network is increased the more connections a person has to the network. This isn't the case. Each connection produces value to the person.

Why the Semantic Web Will Fail
And then there was the company that we sat down with, oh in 2002 or 2003, and laid it all out - RSS, content syndication, social networks. Don't get too excited by the title. But I do want to share a few thoughts... It was running through my head just now, the work that we were doing here in Moncton to work on an e-learning cluster.

Social Media Goes Mainstream
Further, I would add to this that social media platforms tend to work best in networked environments , particularly on the Web, but also behind firewalls though to a lesser degree. Why is the networked aspect so important? Primarily because it's a powerful democratizing force due to its pervasive, low cost nature; anyone can get in the conversation with only a small investment of their While some will dispute what mainstream is defined as exactly -- with my own personal favorite being when my grandparents and their grandchildren both are doing whatever is under discussion -- the rise of consumer-powered media platforms has all the hallmarks of being something that's not only here to stay, but something that's increasingly pushing everything else off the stage.

The 6 essential things you need to know about Google's OpenSocial
I've spent the last few days keeping track of the seemingly endless stream of news and blog coverage about Google's new OpenSocial model for social networking applications. This is fascinating set of developments to watch since Google's own growing social networking platform, Orkut, was eclipsed by Facebook in terms of overall traffic back in September. Unless you've OpenSocial has been described by some as Google's industry "chess move" to outmaneuver and corner Facebook. Just as importantly, Facebook also lets any other company that wants

Facebook as a Learning Platform
Facebook is a pretty simple application with fairly standard social network functionality. But because of critical mass, a general ethos of open conversations between friends, filtering of notifications, and control of friendships, it works well as a means of communications within your social network. Facebook has Your Audience One of the struggles with any social networking software is overcoming the hurdle of getting users to start using yet another social networking platform. Facebook seems to be coming up everywhere the past few weeks. The most recent, which

What Connectivism Is
At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks. Such systems are epiphenomena of (some) networks, and not descriptive of or essential to these networks. This implies a pedagogy that (a) seeks to describe 'successful' Posted to the Connectivism Conference forum (which hits a login window - click 'login as guest' (middle of the left-hand column) - I'm sorry, and I have already complained to the conference organizer).
